DISCO beamline

DISCO is a VUV to visible beamline dedicated to biochemistry, chemistry and cell biology. The spectral region is optimised between 60 and 700 nm with conservation of the natural polarization of the light.

Software simulating oil absorption has been developed and tested. It reveals the dynamics of oil penetration into food according to the level of damage in the tissues and cooling conditions. These data open the way to new strategies for developing low-fat fried products. [Full story]
